Skill Intro Progression (10 mins)

Proogression:

Add a defender (Player C) to replace mannequin. Sequence starts with Player A passing into Player B who performs his move (sideways movement) to unbalance and turn the defender. Keep defender passive for sideways movement. Player B now dribbles to end line, turns and takes on the defender (passive) with a move and finish in the goal. After a few minutes defender can win the ball, but he can only work accross the line side to side not forward.

Skill Training (25 mins)

Two teams position themselves in two even teams diagonally across from each other.

One team (A) with the balls.

Player A starts by passing the ball into Player B and follows his pass to shut down the attacking options. The attackers can only shoot after beating the defender and dribbling through either Gate A or Gate B. Gate B is a free shot on goal with no keeper, Gate A has a keeper to save the shots.

Work each side for 3-4 minutes than switch roles.

Ensure the tempo is up and ball moving.

* Can you beat the defender with a stepover, feint or just by dropping your shoulder

* Can you explode away once fooling the defender and get a decent shot on target

* Can you really Sell your dummy.

Skill Game (30 mins)

Setup area in three zones to suit numbers. Place a defender and attacker from both teams in the scoring zones as shown and play 3v3 in the middle zone. To score the attacking team must play into their striker. Once the ball has made it into the scoring third another player from the team attacking can move into the area making a 2v1 situation. The striker now has the option of turning his opponent and striking on goal or playing a pass to his teammate to setup a scoring opportunity. Rotate defender and strikers so all get a go.
